The actress and comedian shared a photo to her Instagram stories of a slice of cake that has been absolutely decimated. All the spongey goodness has been clawed out by her fork, leaving behind walls of untouched chocolate frosting.

“This is how I eat cake,” she casually writes, as though we’re not looking at a massacre. The photo sparked so much excitement on one social media platform, Peretti shared the cursed image on Twitter, too. It has ignited a firestorm indeed.

We are obviously being trolled. Why even eat cake, if this is how you do it? So much of what makes cake into cake is the icing! Just eat a brownie or a sweet muffin or a cupcake bottom. This is a nightmarish waste.

The picture has been divisive to say the least. There are a surprising number of people on Peretti’s side, which means so much cake is being wasted every day in this country. Wedding cakes, birthday cakes, anniversary cakes: pounds of icing in the trash. Why haven’t we come up with a solution for these cake freaks?
